Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Hyblaean ricotta is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Cow whey with sea salt and a little raw milk is heated in a tinned copper cauldron (quadara) to about 90 °C, stirred with a cane tipped with dwarf-palm leaves, until the ricotta rises and pulls away from the rim. Some makers add the previous day's soured whey. It drains in baskets on a sloping table of cold water and is eaten fresh.
No fixed amounts recordedThe sheets give the method, not a batch recipe. A ricotta weighs about 0.5–1.0 kg, or about 250 g when formed in a cane cavagna (ONAF).

Hyblaean ricotta is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Cow whey with sea salt and a little raw milk is heated in a tinned copper cauldron (quadara) to about 90 °C, stirred with a cane tipped with dwarf-palm leaves, until the ricotta rises and pulls away from the rim. Some makers add the previous day's soured whey. It drains in baskets on a sloping table of cold water and is eaten fresh. Made in 5 steps over 15 min – 30 min. The longest step, add sour whey and stir until it rises, takes 15–30 min (ONAF (Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori F…) and runs at 85–90 °C (Regione Siciliana 2024).
Made with the old Hyblaean tools, a tinned copper quadara, a cane stirrer tipped with dwarf-palm leaves and cane cavagne, and fed now and then with whey draining from the fresh tuma.
Size
Truncated cone 10–15 cm across, about 0.5–1.0 kg; or an elongated cylinder of about 250 g from a cane cavagna (ONAF)
Heating
The regional sheet gives about 90 °C for the whey, salt and milk
The regional sheet cites an 1813 description of Noto that already mentions a thriving production of caciocavalli and fresh and salted ricotta, and Antonino Uccello's account of the tools.
